Found a pretty good sample of the upcoming tie-in novel for those of you interested. Includes the prologue and chapters 1&2 and just the very tip of 3. No major spoilers for the game as it takes place around the launch of the initiative and gives you a taste of what happened to the Nexus when it arrives in Heleus. Posting here in the spoiler section just in case people want to go in totally clean. toronto.overdrive.com/media/3064602

So Only Humans, Asari, Turians, Salarians and Krogan on the Nexus Yep. That stuck out to me too. Also makes me worry about where exactly the Turian ark is along with the Quarians. Tiran Kandros sounds like a real mensch.

This read has me raising my eyebrows a bit at Alec, he seems like such an interesting character though. His 'mysterious' project obsessions may play a role in Andromeda.

I really like Garson from what I'm reading. And after playing the trilogy for the past few weeks I understand her viewpoint for the Nexus and wanting humanity to go further.

I enjoyed the read up until the line in the spoiler: "the only non-Council species on board were the krogan" I wish I hadn't pre-ordered now. All the boring races heading off to Andromeda without any of the ones I loved.

Other races might arrive later, they said this was only the first wave of arks, maybe theres like a second that leaves a few weeks or months after them, ofc, they likely arrive even later than the hyperion, or run into some problems. There might be four more arks coming divided with
- Volus (Shared by some turians) - Elcor - Hanar (shared by some drell) - Batarians from outside the hegemony's grasp (Shared by some vorcha mercs or stows).
Adding to that maybe the geth, who use their own means to travel to Andromeda, i mean they were already observing it.

Might have been nice to have this book released 1-2 weeks in advance of the game to get people hyped up. Then you go right into the game.

I'm doubting it. They aren't launching far away from the Reaper War, so it seems very unlikely they will all turn up.

I'm doubting it. They aren't launching far away from the Reaper War, so it seems very unlikely they will all turn up. Im not sure with an exact date but it is said its well ahead when the reapers arrive. The AI left in 2185, the reapers arrive in 2186. I mean it took them half a year after alpha relay was destroyed to get to the batarian space and from there human space. Thats a lot of time. Im not certainly saying they will bring in other races, but the devs have commented this is the first wave of arks, so theyve left the window open for us seiing the other races in Andromeda. I would have put some on the Nexus, personally. Lot easier... but meh.

Seems absurd to leave them out, only ones I can understand not bring are batarians, vorcha and geth, for political and cultural reasons. But the geth could easily have stowed away. Batarians could have been mercs like the Krogan, and Vorcha... well, there is a way of explaining them all but they've chosen the most boring lot.
It wouldn't be as bad if there was a strong chance they did have arks that were coming, or if the aliens in Andromeda were actually alien at all, but so far they all are just humanoids. Nothing that felt legitimately alien like the hanar.

I understand the exclusion and you guys have to remember they only arrived in the heleus cluster to be met by Kett, Angara and maybe other species. There's soo much more to learn and discover about Andromeda.
There NEEDS to be room for other species to be introduced and incorporated.

An Idea: Maybe they have embryos of the other species inside the Nexus, which can be grown artificially?

Quarians (maybe Volus too? Turian vassal-race as well as Merchants Supreme)are likely aboard the Turian Ark Considering the last briefing that stated there are Quarian colonists on the Andromeda Initiative and this new info from the Nexus Uprising book I am led to believe that quarians will travel inside the Turian Ark.
